New Age Artists

Chapter 445: Premonition of an Earthquake in the Entertainment Industry! (13)

7 month 19 day.

Wang Jinghua entered the Santong Building with her assistant with mixed feelings.

Accepted personal investment from Shen Santong, signed a cooperation agreement with Santong Entertainment, and a strategic cooperation agreement with Deep Sea Culture.

After Shen Santong signed, he smiled and said, "Sister Hua, it's a pleasure to work with you."

Wang Jinghua said self-deprecatingly: "I have run away twice in four years, and now I have become a slave to three families."

Shen Santong shook his head and said, "You can't say that. Sister Hua and I are working together on equal terms."

On March 3 this year, news of Wang Jinghua's departure gradually spread.

Shock inside and outside the circle!

Wang Jinghua is the "gold medal agent" who created stars such as Fan Bingbing, Li Bingbing, and Hu Jun.

Since switching from Huayi to Chengtian Entertainment International Group in 05, after three years of operation, he has built Chengtian into an entertainment company that can stand on equal footing with Huayi and Shenhai Culture.

Wang Jinghua's departure caused an earthquake in the entertainment industry.

Artists also followed suit.

There were signs that Wang Jinghua was planning to leave Chengtian a long time ago. Fan Bingbing, who was originally rumored to join Chengtian, switched to Deep Sea Culture.

In the movie "Red Cliff", none of the big-name artists under Wong Jinghua had any roles. Only Hu Jun got the role of Zhao Yun, but he didn't have many scenes.

At the beginning of the year, Hao Lei also left Chengtian and started her own business as a boss.

Chengtian’s “big brother” Hu Jun was also preparing to leave.

The official website of Chengtian is full of news about Guo Xiaodong and Tong Dawei, while the news about Hu Jun has not been updated since February 2.

Chengtian is planning to let Guo Xiaodong and Tong Dawei take over.

Reporters revealed that Wang Jinghua resigned from Chengtian and prepared to start her own business.

The reporter then asked Chengtian to confirm Wang Jinghua's resignation, but Chengtian denied it.

Later, more and more news came out, and it became more and more true.

It was rumored that Wang Jinghua had moved all her things out of Chengtian, and some people saw Wang Jinghua busy setting up her new company in BJSOHO Modern City.

When setting up the new company this time, Wang Jinghua did not rely on any large company, but instead established a personal studio with director Zhang Li.

The studio will focus on celebrity packaging and public relations promotion. It is not clear yet as to who will invest in this new company.

Insiders emerged and provided more details.

The main reason why Wang Jinghua left Chengtian this time was due to differences in ideas and conflicts of interest.

In addition, the Chengtian 19 cultural agency that was established later was gradually replacing Wang Jinghua's "Chengtian 18", which made her want to leave.

Moreover, Wang Jinghua also has the ambition to transform into investment, entertainment industry, and group to build his own "kingdom".

A reporter called Wang Jinghua and Zhang Li, but neither of them answered the phone.

When contacted later, Ms. Tang, Wang Jinghua's secretary, said cautiously: "I haven't heard of this. You know, I can't help but say, I don't know."

Ms. Yi, the artist director of Cheng Tian, ​​said that she was in Hong Kong and did not know about this matter.

It was said that it had been said for two years that Sister Hua had left Chengtian, and that they were all rumors.

The reporter then contacted an agent of Chengtian, who was affiliated with "Chengtian 19" and was not in the same office building as "Chengtian 18" to which Wang Jinghua belonged.

The other party said bluntly: "They probably haven't left the company. On the 17th, the company updated the internal contact form, and Hua Jie and Zhang Li are both on it. Chengtian's rule is that if someone leaves the company, the contact form will be updated immediately and the name of the person who left the company will be removed."

For a while, Wang Jinghua's stay or departure was unclear.

Of course, Shen Santong was the first to learn the exact news.

In March, Wang Jinghua and Chengtian had already separated, but the contract only ended in July.

And Wang Jinghua still wants to join a big company.

However, because of previous experience, many companies are worried that if she suddenly leaves again, it will cause an "earthquake" among their artists.

Moreover, Wang Jinghua has a very high status and identity, and has many artists under her.

There are not many people who have the funds and film and television resources to take over her company.

Santong Entertainment was one of the few companies that could match her. Before Wang Jinghua decided to leave Chengtian, she proposed to join Santong Entertainment, but was rejected by Shen Santong.

More than ten days ago, in early July, the news that Wang Jinghua had left again was completely confirmed.

Wang Wei, general manager of Chengtian Entertainment, responded for the first time and confirmed that Wang Jinghua had indeed moved out of Chengtian.

However, it is stated that the cooperation between the two parties is still continuing and they have not completely separated.

Hu Jun also set up a studio and intended to follow Wang Jinghua away.

On the surface, Hu Jun denied it, saying that he still has an agency contract with Chengtian and he just set up a film studio. There is no contradiction between the agency contract and the studio.

In her previous life, Wang Jinghua also left at this time, on the eve of the release of Wu Yusen's "Red Cliff".

This life is the time when two "Red Cliffs" collide.

The problems faced by Wang Jinghua and Chengtian are almost repetitive of those faced by Huayi.

On the one hand, Wang Jinghua treats artist management as his own independent kingdom, on the other hand, the company’s resources are not open to him.

This was the case during the Huayi period.

The same is true for Chengtian.

On the surface, this contradiction is a structural contradiction between film and television production companies and artist agents, but it is not just a structural contradiction.

It is a business operation, but not just a business operation.

From Huayi to Chengtian, there is a subtle sense of exclusion and even discrimination.

In this life, Wu Kebo invested more than half of the money in "Red Cliff", but did not arrange a role for Wang Jinghua.

In my previous life, I invested a lot, but still had no arrangements.

Most of the artists under Wang Jinghua are from mainland China, and a small number of them are Hong Kong artists who have agency contracts in mainland China.

Hong Kong artists are like Liang Jiahui and Liu Jialing, who belong to the northern school in the Hong Kong circle.

Huayi period.

Huayi cooperated with Hong Kong Island, and later Xiao Gangpao left and found Chen Guofu.

The Chengtian period.

Wu Kebo and Wu Yusen of Chengtian.

From Chen Guofu to Wu Kebo and Wu Yusen, there is a hidden connection between these people.

Exclude and suppress the star-like artists under Wang Jinghua.

No matter whether it is an old actor or a young actor, they are not given any chance.

Isn’t Director Chen well-known?
Can’t we play Cao Cao and Liu Bei in Wu Yusen’s “Red Cliff”?
Does Liu Ruoying in "A World Without Thieves" have good acting skills?
After all, it is neither a commercial behavior nor a competition for ecological niche.

Why do the artists under Wang Jinghua always follow Wang Jinghua? The media says that it is because they can get good food by following Sister Hua.

This is true!

Wang Jinghua is definitely capable. He is the first and foremost agent in mainland China.

There were some subtle ideas behind joining Chengtian, but he also brought Chengtian's brokerage business to the top level, standing on equal footing with Huayi and Shenhai Culture.

Huayi is a long-established film and television overlord with a huge advantage in stock.

Deep Sea Culture, a subsidiary of Santong Entertainment, is backed by Shen Santong Films and is unique in terms of film resources.

Wang Jinghua often relies on herself to support herself, and Chengtian does not provide much help in this regard.

If Chengtian could arrange a major role for artist Wang Jinghua in the TV series "Red Cliff" and "The Warlords" in which he participated.

With the top resources thrown at them, the artists under Wang Jinghua naturally fell apart.

In his previous life, Li Bingbing, who had access to top-level resources, stayed in Huayi and did not run away.

It all comes down to interests.

Shen Santong also makes money by shooting short videos.
